Inspired by a true story, Antonio Banderas
stars as internationally acclaimed ballroom
dancer Pierre Dulane in the family drama Take The Lead. This story is "inspired by a true
story." The film revolves around the
life of Mr. Dulane, a professional dancer
who volunteers to teach in the New York City
public school system. But when his classic
methods clash with his students' hip hop
instincts, he teams up with them to mix the
modern hip-hop beat to match the beat of
ballroom dance songs, thus creating a new
style of dance. In the process he becomes
the student's mento. The movie never provided
any photo's of Pierre, nor did it reveal
how much of the Hollywood story was real.
One thing we do know, Pierre did grow his
ballroom dance classes in NY City to over
40 NYC schools now participating.
I found the movie was family friendly, but
there were some crud moments depicting the
realties of inner city High School life.
I found it difficult to agree with Mr. Banderas
logic, acting in the part of Mr. Dulane,
that is you can "Handle a woman"
in ballroom dance in a very erotic manner,
this would teach High School kids to respect
the opposite sex and would help young females
to not get pregnant. I miss the connection.
The ending was also a bit strange since it
didn't complete a number of open story lines.
For example, the main concentration on the
movie was a big dance competition where the
winners would get $5,000. It's never revealed
who won. A good family film that should be
watch with some caution, - Take the Lead.
